Psalm 119:88

Contemporary English Version 1995

Show that you love me and let me live, so that I may obey your commands.

See the chapter Copy

In everything you do, you are kind and faithful to everyone who keeps our agreement with you.

I long for your teachings. Be true to yourself and let me live.

I am at the point of death. Let your teachings breathe new life into me.

Remember how I love your laws, and show your love for me by keeping me safe.

I beg you to save me, so I can follow your rules.

You bless all those who follow your commands from deep in their hearts

God gave his Law to Jacob's descendants, the people of Israel. And he told our ancestors to teach their children,

If they keep our agreement and follow my teachings, then someone in your family will rule forever.”

Show your love for me, your servant, and teach me your laws.

Show that you love me, Lord, and answer my prayer. Please do the right thing and save my life.
